Past GPS collaring projects conducted by the National Parks Board (NParks) and researchers have shown that this troop's distribution range overlaps with residential houses around the perimeter of the nature reserve. Hence, this calls for a positive and modern manag...

If you can help identify the man in the photo, it will greatly aid the investigation. Please contact ACRES if you have any information (info@acres.org.sg).

SeaWorld Orca Mom Too 'Depressed' To Nurse Baby
22nd Oct 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
YET ANOTHER REMINDER OF WHY WHALES (AND DOLPHINS) DON’T BELONG IN CAPTIVITY
Time and time again, evidence emerges that supports the widely-held belief that whales and dolphins simply cannot cope with a captive environment and that these animals suffer greatly –physically, mentally and emotionally - in captivity.
We can all help to end the suffering of captive whales and dolphins by not visiting attractions that hold these animals captive, and by urging others to do the same.

THE LOSS OF A HIGHER RANKING FEMALE MACAQUE
19th Oct 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
THE LOSS OF A HIGHER RANKING FEMALE MACAQUE
Macaques live in troops with a female-bonded social structure. Females do not leave their natal group, whereas males leave as they mature. Troops usually have an alpha male, but social bonds between females exceed those between males. Hierarchal rankings are important to the social structure of macaques. Macaques are nepotistic, meaning daughters inherit the rank of their mother.
Marissa was a higher ranked female macaque from the Lornie Troop. Sadl...
